About your dream, Emily—I take the perspective that each element of a dream represents a part of your own subconscious. A plane is a vehicle, and vehicles like cars and planes often symbolize career or feelings about career. (The career is what literally “carries” us). So there may be a shadow part of your subconscious with a longing to let things crash and burn and fall apart. Or maybe you are second guessing the course you’re on in some way. That doesn’t mean anything bad will happen or that your doubts, if they’re there, are well founded. It just means they want your attention. Your dream ego (the “you” in your dream) is secretly pleased to avoid plans. I think you probably just need a little rest.
Worst part about the Batali article are the comments blaming the author for a range of sins from "not behaving in 2001 the way someone would behave in 2025" and "doing a lot of substances to deal with the terrible stressful job full of sexual harassment she had 25 years ago in her 20s".
The article itself did make me immediately go and put the book on my Libby holds list, though.
I used to live next door to that Planned Parenthood, on Mott Street. It was a godsend for broke 20-something women with no health insurance in NYC. And there was always a church congregation singing outside on Sunday mornings in protest. Sad end to an era!
How much rent was the not-for-profit paying to be in a $36 million building? That sounds like a serious financial strain, which is good for no one, as it diminishes the ability of any not for profit to carry out their core mission. Just because a piece of real estate is sold doesn't mean the service needs to disappear. With whatever funding they were already receiving to afford that rent, they can re-open in a more financially sustainable but still accessible location (or redirect some of the rent money to other locations, etc... you get the point).

Mind blown. Going to sit in the park and stare at some clouds.
Thank you amber

Oh I ordered it as well
If you have not clicked the link in the Maya interview to GenAI "Little Darlings" project, you need to go do that. Super cool!
She’s brilliant

I went to FIT (basically all girls school) and it ended up being an extension of the campus. Sad end to a lot of things… scary.

I hope the service doesn’t disappear!
Maybe a VC-backed boutique abortion spa will open in its place
